Sheet metals are ex posed to some spring back or spring-forward depending on elastic deformation following bending process. S235JR （1. 003 8） materials having a thickness of 4 mm were bent with 90° punches having 5 different tip radiuses. The ben- ding process was carried out by making the punch waited on the material for 30 s （30 s wait bending） and by remo ving the punch without waiting （direct bending）. Specimens were prepared in three forms as non-heat-treated, nor- malized and tempered. At the same time, all experiments were performed at a deformation speed of 25 mm/min. As a result, it was determined that as punch tip radius increased, the amount of spring-forward decreased. Although normalizing process applied to specimens increased the amount of spring-forward, tempering process decreased it. The amount of spring-forward was decreased in 30 s wait bending process.展开更多
